I made this card back in Sept. 2009 for a friends 50th Birthday. She thought it was pretty funny.
I don't remember which sets the "50th" or "it's your birthday!" came from but the "goody-goody gumdrops" words and the gumdrop stamp itself came from a set called Goody-Goody Gumdrops. It was offered as a Hostess level 3 stamp set in the Spring-Summer 2009
Stampin' Up Catalog.
I'm also pretty sure all the colors I used are retired now along with the brads. But the Dazzling Diamonds glitter is still current. :)

I made this card for my daughter's best friend on her 16th Birthday a few years ago. She really likes cherries. On the card I did some white heat embossing for the Happy Birthday and then some red glitter on the cherries. The paper colors are Real Red, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, and Whisper White. I also made a Star Album for her birthday present.

I found the cherry ribbon at a local craft store. The stamped cherries are from the Just Jawing stamp set that is retired SU.

I made this flipflop album back in Sept. 2009. I had been stamping for almost a year at the point and had gone to a class on how to make these. I loved it so much that when the Halloween paper came out and it had cherry's and skulls on it, I couldn't resist. I love cherry's and skulls. I was so proud of myself cause this was only the second album I had ever made. I don't remember that name of the paper anymore but I know the colors are Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Whisper White. I also used a build a brad at the time to make a skull brad on top the red flower. Most of this is Retired Stampin Up product now but I'm still hording a little bit of this DS paper. :)

About Me

A little about me. I am a married to a wonderful guy and we have been together for over 11 years now. We have twin boys together and they are almost 9 yr. old. I also have an almost 21 yr. old daughter from a previous relationship that still lives with us as well. I got into stamping to give me another creative and social outlet. I do some beading and sewing but I found that stamping was a nice break from both. I love reading as well. So if your into Laruell K. Hamilton, Stephanie Meyers, Kim Harrison, or J.K. Rowlings I love to talk about them. Anyways I hope that gives yeah a small idea of who I am. I am a pretty open person so don"t be affraid to ask. I came up with my blog name because I love to craft with paper and I've had heart surgery. Which is why my motto is to live everyday to it's fullest and Laugh often to keep you sane. I believe everything happens for a reason. One of those reasons had led me to paper crafting. I would like to apologize cause my blog is not that up to date with the things I have been working on. I got off track but I am back now. So I'll be posting more often I hope.
